Guest Trevor Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Have discovered it's something to do with having two monitors - one is 1280x1024 and the other is 1440x900. I can fill the screen on one or the other but not both at the same time - is there a way?
Guest Bob I Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Re: Re earlier posting of wallpaper not filling monitor Run them both at the SAME resolution. Thanks for that little bit of info about there being TWO monitors. Trevor wrote: > Have discovered it's something to do with having two monitors - one is > 1280x1024 and the other is 1440x900.

Guest Bob I Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Re: Re earlier posting of wallpaper not filling monitor The same file is used for both monitors, match the monitors or match the resolution.
